Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 463: Impeller Pulling Wind (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…0136~)

Cao Cao snorted in dissatisfaction:
"What else can I do in this situation? Should I go to Lu Bu's camp and help him?"

Hearing the name "Lü Bu", Xiahou Dun's face suddenly darkened:

"My lord, I'm afraid you can't go to Lu Bu..."

"why?"

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun in surprise.

He had originally expected that after the six family generals had settled down in Lu Bu's army, he would come out to help Lu Bu deal with Zhuge Liang and Liu Xie.

Now Xiahou Dun suddenly said this, which immediately made him alert.

Xiahou Dun immediately took out a golden letter from his arms.

The moment he saw this memorial, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up!
When he worked under Dong Zhuo before, he had seen Dong Zhuo fiddling with this thing many times.

Therefore, he was quite familiar with the emperor's personal edicts.

But how did Xiahou Dun get this thing?
Could it be that it was sent by someone from the imperial court?
Facing Cao Cao's doubts, Xiahou Dun looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered:
"Generals Li Dian and Le Jin came to me from the imperial court and asked me to pass this letter to you."

"It's Mancheng and Wenqian..."

A hint of apology flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, and at the same time he realized that these two people should have been sent to the court by Liu Bei.

Cao Cao didn't ask any more questions and immediately opened the letter. On it were the emperor's words of apology to him.

He also explained that the previous attacks on his back were actually initiated by Liu Bei's army.

The sincerity of the words moved him.

The resentment in my heart towards Liu Xie also subsided a lot unconsciously.

After all, it was a great honor for an emperor to apologize to him humbly.

He was originally confused about Liu Xie's targeting of him.

If these were all tricks of Liu Bei's army and the emperor was just cooperating with Liu Bei's army, then it would not be difficult to understand.

However, when Cao Cao saw Liu Xie persuading him to work under him, his suspicious nature made him vaguely realize something.

He slowly closed the letter and asked Xiahou Dun:
"You just said that I can't help Lu Bu anymore. Why is that?"

Xiahou Dun immediately told the other party the rumor he had heard in the city that Lu Bu was going to kill Cao Cao.

After hearing what Xiahou Dun said, Cao Cao fell silent.

After a moment, he suddenly grinned, and the next moment, he couldn't help but burst into laughter!
As he was laughing, a look of sadness suddenly appeared on his face. Then, under Xiahou Dun's suspicious gaze, he covered his face and sighed, saying:

"This world is so big... Is there really no place for me, Cao Mengde, to stay?"

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Xiahou Dun quickly held his shoulder and asked:

"My Lord, why do you say that? Didn't the court invite you to take up the post?"

"Office?"

Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun with a half-crying and half-laughing look, knowing that the other party had not seen through the conspiracy at all, and could only explain:

“If Lu Bu wanted to kill me, how could such a rumor spread?

“And now the rumor has arrived together with this memorial. It is clear that the emperor is afraid that I will not go, and he is deliberately trying to scare me into going.

“And when I go to the imperial court, what awaits me is not a high position with generous salary, but an axe and sword!
“But what the emperor said in the memorial was also correct.

"If Lu Bu is afraid of me, he will definitely kill me to eliminate future troubles when he unifies the world.

"That's why I said, there is no place for me in this world anymore..."

After listening to Cao Cao's explanation, Xiahou Dun couldn't help but widen his eyes:
"This... How is this possible? The imperial court is so sincere...

"My lord, have you misunderstood the Emperor?" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou Dun as if he were a fool.

After all, he was a military general, and he didn't expect the other party to easily see the clues.

If Wen Ruo were here, perhaps he could bring him back to life... What a pity!

When Cao Cao thought of Xun Yu, his face turned ugly.

He still hasn't figured out why Xun Yu betrayed him.

He was so nice to her...

Cao Cao waved his hand at Xiahou Dun:
"You go back first... let me think about it carefully..."

Seeing Cao Cao's dejected face, although Xiahou Dun was anxious, he didn't have the brains to think of any way to comfort him.

Before leaving, he could only ask:
"Generals Li Dian and Le Jin want to see the Lord. Should we let them come?"

Cao Cao's eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent:
"We must not let them know I'm here!
“Although I once paid great attention to them, now they are in a desperate situation and are being bullied by dogs.

“My position in their hearts is no longer as high as before, and they may not be loyal to me anymore.

"Once my position is exposed, I will be the one to be assassinated!"

Xiahou Dun's heart trembled, and he quickly agreed, turned around and left.

Looking at Xiahou Dun's departing back, despair appeared on Cao Cao's face.

Now Liu Xie wants him dead, Zhuge Liang wants him dead, and even Lu Bu wants him dead... Where should he go?
Perhaps, only by truly secluding himself in the mountains and completely cutting off contact with Xiahou Dun and others can there be a glimmer of hope.

And this way, the six of them would have a chance to survive!
In the empty wooden house, Cao Cao seemed to have aged by more than ten years...

Wancheng, in the palace.

Lu Bu is testing the newly invented "impeller wind extractor".

He gripped the metal crank and turned it as hard as if he was starting a tractor.

The impeller in the middle also began to rotate like a waterwheel!

A total of eight fan blades rotated in succession, bringing up continuous strong winds!
At this moment, Da Qiao was kneeling in front of the impeller blowing air.

A sudden strong wind blew on her face, lifting her naturally drooping bangs and revealing her smooth and white forehead.

Da Qiao closed her eyes, looking very happy.

Cai Yan on the side couldn't help but admire:
"What a strong wind! This way, it won't be so hot when I sleep at night!"

At this time, Sun Ce's mother Wu Yao asked curiously:

"My dear, can I try it?"

Seeing Wu Yao's expectant eyes, Lu Bu smiled and pinched her soft face, then gave his hand to her.

Wu Yao imitated her husband and started shaking the handle, which she found very interesting at first.

However, after turning more than ten times, the smile on her pretty face suddenly faded, and then she frowned, looking as if she was struggling.

After reluctantly turning around a few more times, Wu Yao began to pant and looked at Lu Bu with an innocent face:

"My dear, this thing takes a lot of effort. I can't turn it anymore after a few turns..."

Lu Bu stroked his chin and said:
"This is indeed a problem. You usually follow me to practice Ba Duan Jin to strengthen your bodies, so your physical fitness should be good.

“If even you can’t turn a few circles, it must be even harder for an ordinary maid to do so.

"It seems that we need to find a way to improve it..."
